you are right ;-( I used a different code in my test and sent you and old test code, *but* also the last 
one does not works on every browser ... the following code would do the job, but it seems to work only 
in gecko-based browsers such as mozilla, firefox and safari ... 
 
<div style="width: 200px"> 
 <img src="IMG_3133.jpg" style="max-width: 200" /> 
</div> 
 
other browsers do not scale the vertical dimention :-( 

using:
Display mode = threaded
List display = Subject, Type, Author, Date

in the config file (omitting "ID" then) rise the bug

ie, an unneeded "," is displayed after the "supposed to be printed" ID

uhmm...

http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/page2?mode=threaded&expand=0&last=7

the bug is also a "documentation bug", infact similar tricks are also
in FAQs (FAQ 5 for example)

I tried to substitute avery occurrence of hard coded "&" with "&amp;" but it does
not do the job at all ... infact the first time the HTML code is ok, but
following a link let the browser to automatically decode html entities .. and
everything turns wrong again ... maybe the encoding should be done in
printing-to-the-browser-time ..

BTW, the current url (taht should be perfectly well formed makes the elog not to
display attachments ... so may be thare is a problema in the query string decoding
routine ...

Display subject = <b>$subject</b>

is printed to the browser encoded, so that it is diplayed as is..

It seems to work nice to me.
Just another suggestion: I think it would be better to insert a commented out
example for all allowed parameters in the distributed  /etc/default/elog

nice work :-)

When an attached image name contains a space in its filename and attachment
display is enabled elog builds a wrong url to the image:

http://arcolog.roma2.infn.it:8080/ARCO/050309_170709/peeling+002.jpg

instead of the correct one:

http://arcolog.roma2.infn.it:8080/ARCO/050309_170709_peeling+002.jpg

The more annoing thing is that elogs hangs on this. a strace shows a select
on fd n°3 and 5 that loops forever (returning a timeout error):

send(4, "<141>Mar 23 11:36:25 elogd[22189"..., 35, 0) = 35
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, NULL, 8) = 0
select(1024, [3 5], NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(1024, [3 5], NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)


May be the better solution is, after fixing the bug for backward
compatibility with already uploaded images, to implement a forced characters
substitution at upload time, replacing spaces and every character not in a
"allowed chars" list with an underscore
